Somebody asked me to give them a program to reboot (wouldn't you know...)
And, yes, this is a rather (ahem!) naive user, who *is* using Windows,
so the usual solution (heh heh) will not be a good thing.

Anyway, I got the FAQ, and yup, there it is, in part3, sample code to
reboot safely.

My question is this:

	Is the example given intended to be used as is?
	(Or is there some other gotcha, and this is just code presented
	FYI, etc...)

	I mean, I know I end up sounding like the world's biggest
	weenie, but its like it would be nice if someone would compile
	it and put it on an FTP site somewhere.

I did search SIMIBM.IDX, on keyword WARM, and didn't find anything
particularly recent.
